25
years with Tres Trilogías
María
Ángeles Rodríguez Arango
Trilogy
of time
It
includes the following works: Romances
de Grisú (1961 and 1962), Pirueta blanca
(1967 and 1969) and Marea
de retorno (1961 and 1968).
Romances
de grisú reproduces the
second edition, from 1962, which had a new section with
25 poems entitled Nuevos romances. In 56 poems
in all, it shows the identification with the mine and the
miners of the authors childhood.
Pirueta
blanca appeared the first time in the number 60 of the
Colección Rocamador, in 1967, and the second edition
in 1969 with musical illustrations in the charge of Andrés
Moro which had been given their premiere in the Jorge Manrique
High School, the 23rd of April, 1969. The drawing which
appears in the frontispiece was carried out by Demetrio
Cascón, teacher of drawing from the Marqués
de Santillana High School, from Torrelavega. They are 33
poems which sing her movements, her plays, the strings or
cradlesongs which lull her to sleep.
Marea
de retorno, published partially in the Comarca de Mieres
weekly in the years 1961-1962 and 1968-1969, includes the
memories of the childhood and adolescence: the native land
with its landscapes, the relatives and friends, the pupils
and the children. It is a review of what has been lived
through with love and hope, though the constant presence
of death stands out, as Fernando Lázaro Carreter
shows in the introduction to this whole.
